The most profound
technologies are those
that disappear.
They weave themselves
into the fabric of everyday
life until they are
indistinguishable from it

Companies in every industry need to assume that a 
software revolution is coming… Marc Andreessen
Innovator Dilemmas:
Products Dematerialization
& Value Chains Deconstruction
GE CEO Jeff Immelt told his troops last year:
“If you went to bed last night as an
industrial company, you’re going to
wake up this morning as a software
and analytics company.”
Data and the 4^ Industrial Revolution
Data are the new raw material:
new source of innovation &
lever to achieve business sustainability.
Transition = Business Disruption
i.e. New value creation
• Improve operational
efficiency
• New connected
